Texts in Eteocypriot (few are known, making it difficult to determine language affinity) have been found in the vicinity of the Lemnian language sphere, amidst the Aegean islands.
Debate continues on concerning the relationship of Eteocypriot, Eteocretan and Minoan to this family.

Scholars now generally agree that these Tyrrhenian languages are not members of the Indo-European family and any connections with the Anatolian languages in particular are probably due to areal influence at best.
Eteocypriot was a language spoken in and around the Aegean islands by 600 BCE.
The most famous Eteocypriot inscription is in fact a bilingual text dated to around 600 BCE and written in both the Attic dialect of Ancient Greek and Eteocypriot.

They abolished the independent kingdoms of Cyprus and established a unified rule and a single currency.
Although the Cypriot syllabic script continued to be used and the native "Eteocypriot" tongue survived, largely as a spoken language, Greek became the dominant language.
At the beginning of the Hellenistic period, Attic influence was still evident in Cypriot art and funerary architecture, but Egyptian elements gradually prevailed.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.08.22
With the help of LGPN she proceeds to investigate the differing reactions to the coming of koine in Arcadia and Cyprus: "conservative" Arcadia did not alter its name forms into koine; "innovative" Cyprus did when writing alphabetically, but did not when using the local syllabic script.
The explanation: Arcadia was a fundamentally homogeneous linguistic area; on Cyprus the presence of at least three different and non-mutually intelligible languages (Greek, Phoenician and Eteocypriot) in which onomastic alteration from one to another was normal created a disposition to linguistic adaptability.
Morpurgo Davies' observation of the "intentionality" of Greek personal naming seems to me an important one, with far reaching implications which will require close attention in future historical onomastic studies.
